And most 3G plans only cover up to 1GB of data per month at a speed of 7.2mbit/s. I simply can't see this working. Sorry if I'm misinformed here.

I'm not quite sure where you got that.  Verizon offers multiple tiers of 3G data (2GB is the least), and none of them limit your speed after a certain threshold of data is met.  AT&T also never throttles your speed, they simply have a 5GB limit and it costs $.05 per MB after that.  Sprint's 3G plan is still unlimited, and they don't throttle your speeds whether you use 2MB of data in a month of 24GB of data in a month.

T Mobile is the only one who throttles you, and that is at either 2GB, 5GB, or 10GB depending on which plan you purchase.  After that, you will have a slower speed, but still unlimited for how much you can use.


Well... America's got those stupid 3 year contracts, don't you?  But I guess you have an advantage when it comes to 3G then T Mobile is the biggest provider in germany and by far has the best mobile network and allmost all of their "unlimited" plans throttle you down to 64kbits/s after 1GB. Actually faster in a lot of cases. Other providers just do the same. Well at least our contracts are cheap haha
